Finally, it's JoyCon's turn!!!
**This kit comes with a clear DPAD!!! Which can be compatible with our Dpad version JoyCon shell!!!!**
The difficulty of this installation for the Joycon DFS LED Kit is High, you have to take off everything and place the LED flex correctly. Please do it with patience.
NOTICE: The LED will not turn on/off along with the Joycons on/off status, you have to turn it on/off by pressing SL+SR.

Really enjoyed installing this kit for my niece's controllers, as both the video and printout instructions were very helpful. As some other users had mentioned, zooming in on key parts would be beneficial to the video, as well as some simple explanation of things like detaching the battery connectors, and what to look for when detaching/reattaching the ribbons.
Unfortunately, the left side doesn't work with my kit and I've sent an email to customer support. I'm hoping it can be resolved without having to send it back through Amazon. I will update when I have the faulty parts resolved.
Update: The manufacturer has sent me a replacement kit to replace the faulty one. No Amazon involved, and they shipped it directly to me free of charge, no issues at all.
Great product, excellent customer service, would highly recommend to anyone who is a little mechanically inclined. 👍👍
Do they change colours while playing?
@@jonasbangel5079 yes, you can have them change colors while playing. The lights work independently from the regular controller buttons and connectivity, but it works off the same battery. You need to remember to turn the lights off when you’re done playing with the controller, or the lights will drain your batteries.
I also have problems with my own kit, but I can't find how to contact ER. Could you tell me where did you find how to contact them please 🥺?
Have you fixed it
@@thaviolara1741 yes, as soon as the new parts arrived, it worked as intended
A bit of a tricky install, but wow it looks so cool! The video clearly shows the steps to follow and if you take your time there will be no problems!
I do think that a voice over of instructions would help also (instead of just the music), as well as not zooming out so far. Stay zoomed in and focused on the joycon. But overall, very helpful!
Great to hear that! Thank you very much!!!
Instructions are for everyone without being limited to language, but I feel ya
This video is great!! I just wish it would zoom in more to show more details! I can barely see what's going on :(
Thanks for your suggestion! We will improve our future videos!!
@@ExtremeRate wow that really helps

I did my entire switch OLED in glacier blue color with the clear buttons (D pad version). Everything went well, change the strip LEDs to yellow and purple perspectively, the joy cons comes alive. Just follow the video carefully and you shouldn't have any problems.
NOTE: It pays to have some basic skill about small electronics. I'm extremely rusty on my repair skills, but I did watch the video multiple times beforehand.
Thanks! Just spent 2 hours doing my sons right joy con lol now the left side
Good daddy!
OMG yes took 2 hours for me as well but then took 10 minutes on the left one🤣🤣
@@Atw3000x Good job!
Just got mine fully installed!! Turned out absolutely amazing. I paired the black button LED kit with your guys Translucent Purple Joycon shells and its so beautiful!! I recently ordered and installed the translucent purple joycons from dbrand but they didnt fit perfectly (had to sand down the plastic) and the screwdrivers they included were cheap and stripped the screws...
I am very happy to say your guys' fit perfectly though and the tools you included felt very premium and did not strip out the screws at all. I am a very happy customer and will recommend you guys to my friends. Thanks =)
Thanks for your feedback bro!!! And we are so glad to know you like our products!!! :D
Could you make a video of your Nintendo Switch after changing the shell and adding the LED kit?
Do u happen to have any pictures or video of it I’m thinking on doing it to mine but I’m not 100% sure yet
Your tutorial was great! I fixed my grandsons switch and now i am the number one grandparent!!!!
That is really great! Salute to the #1 grandparent!!!
The kit is great, but I’m having problems. I installed the left joy-con first, as they did. But, when I was doing the right joy-con, it isn’t lighting up, and now the joy-con won’t even work without handheld mode. I don’t know what to do anymore, because I also share this switch with my little sister, who will be very angry when she finds out about the issue.
The set is great, but the right led set didn't light up at all for me
Hi, great video there. Would like to ask about this product, will the LED turn off when we put the switch into sleep mode or need to turn off by pressing the 2 side buttons from the joycons?
The patience and will power to do this 💪 🙌 👏 🙀
THIS IS SO HARD. IS THERE ANY EASIER TUTORIAL????
I was excited to start this project, this being my first time ever doing any kind of mod. All went well until the flap broke off that holds one of the ribbons down on the LEFT joycon. It’s been a week since I’ve contacted customer service twice for assistance. I followed along with the video, tested out the LEDs beforehand and they worked. At this point im anxious, but hesitant to start the right joycon. I’m determined to get this to work.
Heads up I’m having problems with it
Do you mean the flap on the Joycon or the flap on the LED flex? If it's on the LED flex, we can send you the replacement to try again. If it's on the Joycon, you need to take it to a repair store.
This is exactly why they need to sell them already done.
It's hard to find that little plastic clamp. My switch fell and the right joycon "broke" but more like came apart from the rails and the little clamp is what's missing and idk where to find replacements. What did you end up doing
also yes I know this is a year old, my bad
I just did mine and had no problems had to zoom in on some of the video but other then that they work like a charm and brings my switch to life !
The way he leaves the screws everywhere gives me "standing on the edge of a cliff with arms out" lvls of anxiety...
lol
Especially on that busy background.. would prefer an all-white one a lot more
@@kam-lw4ez Maybe we will change the background to light grey but not all white because white will makes some important parts disappear :)
When I use the color rotation setting on both joycons and sync them up, the right ends up changing colors faster over time.
Is there any reason why they would go out of sync? Shouldn’t they be on the same timing?
Clock crystals have a margin of error, this is why any clock will eventually lose or gain time, only an atomic clock can maintain near-perfect accuracy.
after installing the pro controller LED kit, i gave these joycon LEDs a try paired with the clear cherry pink joycon shells. this was a more challenging install than the pro controller given that the controllers are smaller. left joycon took awhile but fit perfectly. the right joycon went together fairly well, however there's some extremely light gapping once all together; like the LED ribbon additions don't exactly fit perfectly. took it apart several times to make sure there were no mistakes, all good.
anyone else experience this??
The process is rather intuitive. You strip everything into pieces, harvest the internals, and use the internals with a new case/new buttons while adding a LED cutout placed atop the PCB. Building it was enjoyable and it never felt like a chore to do.
Hey ExtremeRate, I have an issue on the left Joycon, OLED model. The joycon works but the buttons don't light up. During testing, with the case open, it worked fine. Here's the weird part: Swapped the mod in my original switch joycons, and it worked perfect. I'm not sure if it's user error or what - Has this been tested on OLED joycons? I saw someone else had the errors using this model, too. If it's my error, any way I can buy the left LED set individually?
Hey where you able to get it working on the oled because I'm have the same issue
YAY, been wanting some leds for the joycons. thank you!!
You are most welcome! ;)
Yooooooo if there’s a b version I’m buying. Thanks for this!!
What's the B version? The symbolic buttons? Or the Dpad version? There is a symbolic buttons version and both the all-clear and symbolic version that comes with the Dpad!!!
@@ExtremeRate where can I find the d-pad version?
Thanks for the video my controllers look so much better now 🤩
Fun process I ordered a new front and back shell and these led kit it was really tricky putting it all together haha I had to move all electronics to the new shell and then break it down again 😂😂
So... have you install it successfully finally?
@@ExtremeRate yeah but the Burton’s feel weird I might have to re open the controller and check the problem
I ordered these and I’m only now noticing that it said it’s not compatible with OLED, but that’s the only switch I have, so do you think it will be possible to install them on that?
Why don’t you guys sell these finished? I spent hours and made one mistake ruining the controller and the kids got into the boxes, mixed up and lost the parts.
if you already know how to disassemble joy cons you can skip to about 4:10
Yep :)
Thank you!
Spent 5 hours doing this and then once I finished the lights on the right joycon didn’t work. Not sure what happened.
Hell yeah! This is so gonna improve my switch battery life!
Yeah! :'D
lol
@sylvester Sim where does it say it'll improve your batter life?
@@robert_wolf6989 it's /s lol
YO!! I"m so excited for this!! Will you guys come out with a D-pad shell one?
YOOOOO!! its Comes with a D-pad ALREADY!!!
I just gifted the B version for the NS Pro controller, as well as a D-pad shell exchange for my joycons. Now I mosdef need to scoop the B versions of these and do it with the D-pad shell exchange.
Thank you!! Good luck with the installation!!!
I did one of my joycons last night and it mostly went well. I did a left joycon and my minus (-) button has a lot of problems registering. I tested it a bit with the old rubber key back vs. the new one and it seems to be an issue with the clear rubber piece, as using the original piece did not have issues. Am I missing something, did I get a defect, or is this the way its' supposed to be (I hope not)?
If there is a D-Pad version of this, I'm buying it ASAP
Oh, there is a transparent Dpad included in the kit, the installation is the same!! You can just buy it!!!
@@ExtremeRate
But wouldn’t you have to purchase a new shell
@@qindairyesbozell159 Yes, you need to have our Dpad version shell
Damn mine doesnt turn on ...BUT my joycons do work so...not sure whats goin on
Just did this today, thanks very much for the video. Kit looks sick.
Congrats on the successful installation!
You guys really need to sell these predone, and as a set. I as well as many others, would pay at least 100 or more for a set of these already finished. Otherwise I'll just never have it, because this is way too much work for some lights.
Just check out Etsy. Some dudes there make that (:
@ExtremeRate This looks cool. Will you have a version with the D pad soon?
This kit already come with the Dpad, but it only compatible with eXtremeRate Dpad Joycon shell!
Thats perfect since I have the shell.
@@kalyx4606 :D
Okay helpful but somebody please fix the cameras like why is the camera so far away can I be like a little closer or someone Zoomin it's so far away is hard to see the little details without being highlighted and even then it's still hard to see
Thanks for your suggestion, we will improve in the future videos!
so i did this, and my joycons arent being like paired or sensed when the joycons are connected to the switch in handhelp mode, is there a fix to this issue? it happened with both joycons with the leds, but when i took out the leds, everything was fine
Is the LED turns on?
@@ExtremeRate yes
@@aristreamsss When you say handheld mode, do you mean connect the Joycons to the console wirelessly?
I had this happen the very first time I opened my joycons, it was because I didn't fully plug in the rails. Make sure they are fully plugged in
@@leonardohernandez8367 Thanks for your tips
Sooo, are we not gonna talk about the music sounding like Boy with Luv by BTS 🧐🤔💜
Lol my skills end at 0:43 Nice job!
LOL
nice vid! but with an install as finicky as this, a close up install would be great. going to try this tonight! wish me luck :)
Thanks for your suggestion and wish you LUCK!!!!
@@ExtremeRate i finished!! final product looks amazing. NOTE TO EVERYONE: i used the manual provided and followed along with the video. the manual provides those close up shots u need!!
@@daniandjia GREAT!!!! Cheer for you!!!!! :D
@@daniandjia same I def had to use the video and manual and had to zoom in a couple of times but was well worth the time and effort !
Would it still light up if I left the original buttons in there?
So excited to do this to my already modded AC switch, i modded it a year ago with ur pink sakura buttons, and i just recently got an OLED i was sad that i couldn't do this to my OLED so decided to switch out my AC buttons and use them on my OLED and do the LED sakura buttons on my AC switch ahhh i cant wait to do my second mod on my AC switch! Then my third on my OLED all with ur items! I actually tried contacting yall to collaborate on my instagram but no luck haha!
I just got these but when I got plug in the battery into the yellow LED part it’s not lighting up on the SR and SL side panel?
Do you mean both left and right joy-cons have the same issue? And are they still functional? Can the LED kit light up?
I have the same issue
How long does the battery last assuming these are to be kept on? A joycon can last up to 20 hours, I'm curious to see how much that's brought down.
The longest time I played with this LED kit is about 6 hours, the joycons are new.
@@ExtremeRate But how much the LED light battery is it and does it need to change it every month. And btw please send me the link for the LED light. I dont know where to buy or order them.
@@zebramidwives7972 The LED power by the Joycon battery. The purchase link is in the description!
These look sick, if I had joycons I would do this kit to them!🤘
:D
This would be really cool for the switch lite. But at the same time, i kinda never want to take my switch lite apart again lol. Installing something like this would require removing nearly everything lol.
When will it be available again on Amazon.Mx? I'm dying to have it in my Joycons
Another thing, I have my Joycon with D-Pad, will you include a special version for the D-Pad?
The Amazon MX share the inventory of Amazon US, it will be available after a few days of US inventory arrives, please wait a couple of days! And this kit included a clear DPAD, so you can install this kit with eXtremeRate Dpad JoyCon shell!!!
Thanks for this! May I know how to change and turn them off? I tried pressing SL & SR in for 5 seconds but it's not turning off. Also I tried to press them many times to change color but it's not working also.
Did I miss something from the wires? The joycon is working perfectly tho.
Do you mean the SL & SR still working but the LED can't be turned off or change color?
@@ExtremeRate yes. I can use them to my switch and it can detect but I cant turn the led lights off and change colors :(
@@ExtremeRate I realized what's going on. I can change colors and turn them off when my screws are loose. But when i screw them back on, it stops to connect the SR &SL to the LEDs. May I know why this is happening?
@@PlanetMarsChannel Is the issue happened to both of the left and right Joycons? If you loosen the screws and the issue is gone, then you have to check the connection between the SL SR ribbon and the LED ribbon, they must be connected but it seems the ribbons may be curved when you fix the screws and the connection fails then. Please rearrange the flexes and ribbons to avoid the problem above. And if you find any damages on the connectors of the LED ribbon, please let me know.
This was a very helpful video thank you very much I appreciate the time that you took to make this. However if I may some parts it was a little bit hard to see maybe you can zoom in a bit more and also maybe since you're not talking you can also just have text above the screen or somewhere letting people know that you can pull firmly I was so light with it kept thinking I was going to break it but I realized I just had to put a little bit of muscle oh so it may help the talk for some people however I'm one of the people if I can see it I can just follow along with it anyways thanks again and I hope you and everyone else that read this comment stay safe also I hope you were successful as well😜😝😖🤣🛌
You are most welcome!!! And thanks for your advice, we will keep improving in our future videos!
this would probably look cool with transparent shells and normal buttons
My joycon lights up for the strip but nothing when holding for 5 seconds to test LED's on OLED Switch joycon. Works instantly on my older joycon from my old switch.
Do u guys have this kit with the joycons already done and for sale simply ready to use without us having to do the installation? I’d love to purchase these off u guys in a heartbeat if so 👏🏻😭
Cant afford it just yet, but in two weeks from now, I'll be making an order for a chrome blue standard shell, and a lighting mod. And as someone who likes lights like a moth, i cant wait to trick out my joycons.
:D
@@ExtremeRate I HAVE MADE THE ORDER.
Amazon says i should get them by Sunday. I'm so excited
@@AmalgamJiena Good luck with your installation! Deal with the screws extremely carefully! And I suggest you buy a professional screw drivers kit with different sizes of tips, that will help a lot during the installation!
@@ExtremeRate are you on twitter? I'll tweet you the final result when its all done
@@AmalgamJiena My colleague in charge of our Twitter, and I check #extremerate on Twitter daily, so just post the work and #extremerate! :)
broke battery wire fuck my life
Installed mine on the left controller and it worked on the initial test, but when I got it completely installed it does not at all. Im frustrated and disappointed ☹️. I am going to uninstall it and see if my joystick works period. There is little troubleshooting results in the faq area. All it says if it doesn’t work, recheck connections and try again, and if that doesn’t work, plug battery in original plug. I did all of this and nothing works. Not happy. It assumes that it will work after you try these things and but doesn’t further troubleshoot if it doesn’t. If I have to buy a new set of joycons, I’ll be really upset. These ones are only a couple months old. Not getting a good review. The directions and the demonstration video were not comprehensive and didn’t show things well enough. I may have shorted it, however, my joy on should work when battery is plugged into original plug. Deep breath. Still going to try to talk to someone, but it’s Saturday. Who knows if I will get anyone.
You missed the joycon's Sr and Sl's
This is an awesome kit, unfortunately, my right side LED's do not work after installation. The joycon itself works fine but LED lights will not come on.
Hi, it seems the LED flex broken during the installation. Please let us know your order number via email to info@extremerate.com with your shipping address and RUclips name, we will send you the LED flex replacement. But in your next installation, please aware that the LED flexes are fragile, handle them with care, every component on them is soldered with tiny tin, they are easy to broken if you don't gentle enough.
Im not gonna lie, this is dope, and ill buy it, BUT GOOD GOD THE INSTALLATION LOOKS TERRIFYING
If you did the shell swap for the joycon before, then this LED kit is not a big deal. Just follow the video step by step :)
@@ExtremeRate Oh really? Okay sounds awesome! I got into modding controllers because of you guys, but im still a beginner ;)
@@longnutt4649 Modding is really funny right? :D
Will this work on V2 switch and the OLED as well???
anyone know how to fix my issue? I did everything as the video and now my left controller doesn't go to attach mode on my switch :(
plz help
im extremely sad to say i wasted 3 hours on this. I did everything exactly right for the left joy con and it wont even turn on. now i have to figure out where to go from here. this is completely nuts
I have a strange kind of a problem... my switch oled joycons can't be tested since they have a bug where they only work when connected to the sides of my switch oled...
This is really cool, I'm an thinking about making a pair of modded joy cons for my little cousin. What color shells would go good with the LEDs tho...🤔
I think the LED match most of the colors, so just pick the color your cousin like the most :)
If you are a tinkerer and take a slow methodical approach this install it will be a snap. I suggest getting some magnifying eye glasses with a light. Your eyes will thank you later. I'm all for this mod now combine this with all metal casings and you've got yourself a fancy joycon controller set for your nintendo switch. Remember patience is a virtue, and slow and steady wins the race.
Thanks for your advice and congrats on the successful installation!
my LEDs aren't lighting up and everything is plugged in where it should be
So i'll have to manually turn it on and slide it on to the tablet and switch it off again after im done playing? It'll keep draining the tablet battery if i dont switch it off? I aint got time for that lol
I bought two, both right LEDs stopped/didn't work. Please have your costumer support contact me asap.
Please contact us via email at info@extremerate.com.
I am excited to see mine once they get here!! Any tips for avoiding stripping the screws in the joycons? That is an issue I have had in the past when working on joycons
We suggest you use a professional screwdriver kit, with different size of Y tips, use the best one to unscrew. And do remember to hold the screwdriver tight and use a hard downward force and then start the unscrew slowly
I just did that.
So, after installing this kit, the joy cons battery life goes from the standard 20 hours to 3-4 hours?
If you turn the LEDs on every time you play, then yes
@ExtremeRate So first off wonderful instructions and nice boards, but sadly watching it showed me one not easy to take back apart and two left one covers the joystick so if any repairs are needed (joy-con drift) it be too hard to fix easily. The right one almost had it done good till the led at the end. I would but if A. Drift didnt happen or if B. An alt ver came out that aloud easy removal and repair with out a full removal of well everything. So what I'm saying is unless an updated model is out this light mod will not let replacing and joysticks easily.
Thanks for your feedback. The Joycons are small and there is just tiny space inside of them, so putting the LEDs on them is not an easy job.
My right joycon lights up but the left one won't and oddly it works anyone have any ideas?
My motherboard is different. It says the kit fits both. I don't see how..
one problem i have is how to fix a drifting joycon with the led kit already installed?
Do you think that updating the joycons have any effect on the mods? I'm on the fence after reading reviews. I really want to try them. Thank you in advance
Mine didn’t work the led plug doest fit into the battery plug totally different plugs
Schon mehrere Kits bestellt, mehrmals reklamiert, und immer wieder die Linke Seite defekt. Alles richtig angeschlossen aber kein leuchten der LED. Sehr schade.. rechte Seite Funktioniert und klappte sofort..
I wish you didn’t have to remove the joycons to turn them on and off would have been cool if they came on with the console
Thanks for your suggestion. We have the same idea when we bring out the idea of this product, but it won't work :(
a glacier blue shell kit D-Pad version would be greatly appreciated.
This is a really cool concept but i fucked up my left joy con trying to get this shit installed. I took my time and everything but as a big man, Im not cut out for this shit. I'm getting a professional to install this thing with the replacement I have coming. Good on you those who installed it without fucking up.
el video y las instrucciones incluidas están mal. Para encenderlo y apagarlo, además de los botones SL+SR hay que pulsar al mismo tiempo R o L. Casi me vuelvo loco hasta que descubrí como hacerlo. Pensaba que el kit estaba averiado.
I've already installed it with no instructions I'm just here to see how to turn them on
I'm pretty sure I messed up. It works when it's connected to the switch. But when I take it out it will not turn on. What did I do wrong?
Probably something isn’t connected or worse broken. Try to disconnect the battery and connect it again.
I'm having a drift on my left joy stick????
HOW CAN YOU ONLY HAVE 7000 SUBSCRIBERS? THAT'S DISGUSTING
Yep, that's our question too :P
these look great but i have a question, why does it seem like the board that came with the joycons already has slots made for mods like this?
lol, just like why the PS5 controller looks like made for our silicone cases :P
My mods came early. I got them installed and im so proud of them..
My right joy con has a few problems though, but its still functional.. only thing is that a couple screws are messed up and now i cant take the joycon apart again to fix it
The screws are really easy to strip :(
@@ExtremeRate Update: My wonderful cousin who's really knowledgeable with fixing thing, MADE a screwdriver that got the stripped screws out. So i was able go fix my right joycon. It works PERFECTLY now!
@@AmalgamJiena That's great! What's the screwdriver look like? Can you share it?
If anyone runs into my issue where random the right joycon wont turn on after you installed it correctly.
Try to
press and hold sL + sr + B
Also is there a kit for the pro controller?
Yes ruclips.net/video/hE1blSJgsaU/видео.html
There is. The sticks will have lights
my left joycon isnt working checked all connections but nothing happened help
Do you mean the LED does not light up or the joycon itself not working?
This will be the second I got this from amazon n I Just cant get the left light to come on what am I doing wrong??
The circuit may break when you install it. If you want to try again, please don't return on Amazon, just send us an email at info@extremerate.com, we will send you the left part for free and you can try to install it again.
No power after step 13. Took off lights and plugged in battery and have power then.
When you say step 13, do you mean the user manual page 13?
What’s the battery life after the install like
Does the package come with tools??
Yes
How much faster does the batteries drain?
Is there anywhere I can find mods for a v1?
Lights working in han held mode?
Yes!
Wow a light this so cool👍👍👍👍 a light joycon
:D
planning to buy. does it requires the joycon from v2?
they say it does both but for me I cant see how it will work on v1 when it does not even line up correct
Hi, do the symbolic buttons' leds use as much battery as the all-clear buttons'? 3-4 hours?
Yes
Would this look better with a solid or clear shell? Thanks! :)
Personally I like the lights only shine through from the buttons :)
